(For example if the VI-GraphSim PC has ip 192.168.101.50 set 192.168.101 in the &quot;GFX subnet&quot; field), if network is working fine, your machine will appear in the list. Solver IP field must be filled with the IP of the &quot;streaming machine&quot;, in this case the IP address of the used PC. Set HFOV and VFOV as shown in figure (acceptable values for a quick test). Now from the menu on the top, select car, track and eye points (drivers eyes position in the car). Then click on &quot;Run GraphSim&quot; to run the 3D application.</p>
